Recurring Spies

I have the Browser Hijack Blaster, Spyware Blaster, Ad-Aware SE Personal, Norton AntiVirus/Firewall, TotalAccess Protection (Spyware Blocker, Privacy Tools, Popup Blocker) on my computer.

My TotalAccess Popup Blocker is not working right. My TotalAccess Spyware Blocker is not disabling spyware automatically; I have to decide which ones I want to disable manually. Here are a few spywares that keep reappearing on my spyware blocker: Powerscan, BurstNet cookie, CWS_xplugin. How can I get rid of them?

Should I get Mozilla 1.7.2 or Mozilla Firefox 1.0 RC1? Which is better?

Should I cancel Norton AntiVirus/Firewall? If so, replace with what? (which is better).

 

Majestic7, I'm not familiar with "TotalAccess Protection," but I have found that SpyBlaster works best for me. The only thing though, is that you have to periodically check for Updates with SpyBlaster to keep it optimally effective. Maybe that's what you need to do with some of the programs in your TotalAccess Protection. Also, I have found that Microsoft's new free IE pop-up blocker is one of the best that I've ever seen. By the way, I use Sygate's freeware firewall, and it seems to work fine.

 

Mozilla Firefox 1.0.2
